Because people like having options. The same reason they buy an 80k base sequoia on the off chance (read: never) get a boat and need to tow it.
It makes them feel bad to close doors of opportunity for no reason.
What opportunities? We now have even external GPUs over USB-C.
And you can't turn the cheapo Aldi/Medion PC in a gaming rig, the mainboard just can't do it.
An external GPU over USB-C is worse in every way compared to an internal GPU.
